MCCORMICK, SC
CONFIRMED RIDER LIST
FREE CAMPING!
There is FREE Camping available both Friday and Saturday nights! There is no need to make a reservation, just show up and pick a spot (there's plenty of room). This is primitive camping with no electrical or water hookups, however the portable toilets will be on site. Both RVs and tents are welcome.
The Crowd Favorite
SC Governor's School
The feedback from our first event in McCormick was overwhelmingly positive. With the Saluda Grade in Tryon, NC not being open for the next few years, we needed to find an alternate venue for our series finale. The SC Governor's School gladly accepted us back, with a full weekend of events planned. Friday night camping, Saturday event, plus a Saturday night end of the year party with food, music, and more!
FOR RIDERS WHO WANT MORE
Anyone can sign up for a race. Not everyone chooses one that demands something back. This is for riders who want to feel the effort, embrace the challenge, and cross the line knowing they earned it.
EVENT 4 OF 4 IN THE SEG SERIES
The Grand Finale of the season. October is always beautiful in the Southeast. Sharpen up that late season form, and come out and ride. Make sure you chase those season long omnium points for the overall series!
FINAL SERIES PODIUM AND PRIZES
With the Reaper being the final event of the year, we will have the final overall series podiums and prizes. It's been a long season of work and riding. Stick around to earn your rewards!
FULL WEEKEND PARTY
Celebrate the end of the year with all your gravel friends. Free Friday night camping, race on Saturday, and then plan to stay with us on Saturday night where we will have food, music, and more!
TRUE TEST OF EQUIPMENT
With a wide variety of different riding styles, the Reaper course is one where equipment selection is critical. There’s smooth gravel, chunky gravel, singletrack, and a river crossing. Make sure you choose something that can handle every type of riding
FREE FOOD / FREE BEER
Go as hard as you want, and know that a hot meal and a cold refreshing beer will be awaiting you at the finish line. Stick around and cheer on fellow riders who are finishing.
